Yoga encourages overall health and wellness

Yoga is not just about working out, it’s about a healthy lifestyle. Peace and tranquility achieved through focused training appeals to everyone.
Yoga’s deep breathing and meditation practices help foster an inner shift from to-do lists, kids and spouse’s needs, financial concerns and relational struggles to something a little bit bigger than the issues you face. Yoga helps relieve stress and unclutter the mind, and helps you get more focused.

YOGA FOR NECK AND SHOULDER PROBLEMS
While neck pain sometimes results from trauma—such as an injury from playing sports or accident—by far the most common cause is stress on muscles and ligaments stemming from poor postural habits, typically related to our computerized, stressful, sedentary lifestyle. One of the most widespread postural problems is forward head posture, a misaligned relationship between the head and the shoulder girdle, where the head protrudes in front of the shoulders and the upper back rounds. This causes the muscles of the neck, shoulders, upper back, and chest to alter their length and efficiency as they struggle to counterbalance the weight of the heavy head against the pull of gravity—with the muscles in the neck and front body becoming tight and short and those in the mid back and the back of the shoulders becoming weak and overstretched.
 
Yoga practices includes,
 

  •     Abdominal breathing
  •     Tadasana
  •     Shoulder shrugs
  •     Other loosening Exercises

YOGA AFTER DELIVERY (POST NATAL YOGA)

“Yoga is a wonderful way to get back in shape,” “It works the whole body and it is very adaptable. You don’t have to have done any yoga before and there is plenty for you to do to build strength and flexibility.”
